It Was Gonna Be You Song Lyrics

I never thought that I'd lose you
Never thought that I'd choose to
Walk away from all the things that we've been through
Never thought that I'd give myself
Over to somebody else
I guess I always thought it was gonna be you
It was gonna be you, oh

You were my northern star
You were my fast car
You were my ride or die, I thought I'd never ride out alone
You were my first port of call
Whenever I'd stumble or fall
I think I always thought I'd call you home

I never thought that I'd lose you
Never thought that I'd choose to
Walk away from all the things that we've been through
You were my lifeline
Would've given my lifetime
I guess I always thought it was gonna be you
It was gonna be you, oh

You were my southern cross
When I was feeling lost
You were all I could see and I thought we were carved out of stone
You were the first one I'd call
You could make sense of it all
You were the light that always guided me back home

I never thought that I'd lose you
Never thought I'd get used to
Living without you now I doubt you feel as deep as I do
We went from strangers to friends to lovers to strangers again
And I guess I always thought it was gonna be you

I never thought that I'd lose you
Never thought I'd choose to
Walk away from all the things that we've been through
Never thought this would be how it ends
Always thought that I'd see you again
But it's time I faced the truth
For now I know that it was never gonna be you, oh yeah
Never gonna be you, oh
Never gonna be you, oh
Never gonna be you, oh

It Was Gonna Be You by Passenger is a contemplative track that speaks of losing someone whom one thought was going to stay in his or her life forever. The singer speaks about how the subject used to be his or her closest friend, providing comfort, advice, and strength and how he or she had always believed that his or her life would continue with him or her. However, now that he or she has gone through stranger-friend-lover-stranger, the speaker finds it difficult to believe that he or she has to let go of this person.
